yes.!

Be honest though, I would only my spare to "Get me home" .. snf certainly wouldnt run different sized tyres any longer than I had to.

we run 215x80x15's and still have the origional 205x70x15 on the back

on the subject of the spare tyre, how does the spinny nut come off?

Also you think a 215/75 mud will fit on the door on a 15x7 modular?

I don't know about the spinny nuts.if it's the spare tyre cover it has one nut to hold it on set in a hole in the cover.
About fitting 215/75 on back door,why don't you try one of your wheel+tyres on the back door, if you need more room at the back of the tyre you could take the rubber door stop off or cut them down,mind your window wiper.

hope this helps,BAZ.

Bits4vits used to do a spacers for the spare wheel to move it out but I can't see them on his site now. I have one, its awesome. Otherwise a cheap wheel spacer.

The spinny nut might be a locking wheel nut to stop it getting picked. No good if you don't have the key.

I had to take the spinning ring off mine with a screwdriver and undo the nut with a pair if mole grips. You can buy tools to remove all locking wheel nuts in halfords. Great for a thief!
